Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Burma Under British Rule It is always interesting to see ourselves as others see us. M. Dautremer was long enough Consul for France in Rangoon to get a good knowledge of the country, and he has written a most informing book about Burma for the benefit of his fellow-countrymen. He is a fearless critic, and does not hesitate to point out that Burma offers much that both the French Government and the settlers in Cochin-China and Tongking might copy with advantage. His book is much more like a consular report of the ideal kind than a mere description of the country. There have been very, many books about Burma, some of them mere picture-books with letterpress thrown in, like the flour that is required to keep, a plum-pudding together; others perilously like popularized encyclopædias; quite a good many, the haphazard reflections of more or less observant and industrious fine-weather tourists, whose impressions are sometimes as diverting as the diary, of Li Hung-chang in Europe, but mostly without his wit and shrewdness.
